Vision Applications

For industrial vision applications requiring 1- to 2-megapixel resolutions at frame rates of up to 120 fps, Baumer Ltd. has released the SX cameras. Featuring Kodak’s progressive-scan interline CCD image sensors with Quad-Tap technology, they offer resolution of 1024 x 1024 pixels. The 1-megapixel cameras achieve speeds of 120 fps, depending upon the number of output taps used, and the 2-megapixel cameras offer horizontal and vertical resolutions of 1600 x 1200 pixels and operate at speeds of up to 68 fps. All models measure 52 x 52 x 54 mm, have a 5.5 x 5.5-µm pixel size and offer rugged housing and robust electronics that withstand a variety of application environments. The digital interface is Camera Link Base. Applications for the monochrome and color cameras include measuring and medical technologies, and semiconductor inspection.
